@mngrif @freemo @design_RG I enjoy Fedilab, don't mind the bloat myself. Personal taste. But @raining_night everyone on qoto can write more than 500 characters.

OMG, gld to see that I am not the only one to care for this issue. 😺
And thannks for confirming my impressions so far, mngrif - the only clients I have found supporting longer posts are this Web interface (built in, mastodon instance hosted); and the Fedilab Lite client I tested and reviewed last night.
RN -- see my thread about Fedilab, including the option of FREE downloads. And the Lite version, which is NOT on Google Play at all.

I was able to post ~700 chars long post from it, during testing. The settings panel allows a post up to 3,000 chars max.
I am planning to somehow ask the developers of Pinafore (which is FAST and pretty, nice) to maybe include an option on it's settings, allowing user to input a Higher post limit, in characters/Bytes.
I had a conversation with someone and she mentioned some software on the instance server, which might allow larger posts in the clients --- glitchsoc if I am not mistaken.
Do we use it here? Is it configured to allow larger client posts? Is this possible?
Fedilab Lite seemed nice, but I can't post from a mobile and do the volume and length I am used to; it's just too inneficient. Ocasionally, ok, but my laptop or desktops can run circles around mobiles.

I posted a new thread today with an update - I was able to post a longer message via Pinafore, using an account in another instance which allows 10,000 chars.
Did that with Pinafore, which I really like for it's speed and clean interface but with my qoto account is limited to 500 chars only.
From that instance, Pinafore was able to send a long DM to me here, and the Toot editor box showed a 10,000 chars when I first started typing.
The only difference is that the other instance uses glitchsoc, which is a fork from Mastodon.
Reading the docs a bit, it's a full install from Mastodon, can be upgraded to it, but it's not a simple add-on module.
if anyone is interersted, the report is here: https://qoto.org/web/statuses/103156711345013086
